The U.S. Supreme Court has temporarily sided with the Trump administration, allowing continued deportations of alleged Venezuelan gang members under the Alien Enemies Act. This decision reverses a lower court order that halted such deportations and emphasizes that individuals must contest their arrest through habeas petitions in their detention districts. This ruling represents a significant victory for the administration amid ongoing tensions with federal courts, although it also mandates that detainees receive timely notice for legal challenges regarding their deportation.
The order finds that the men challenging removals under the Alien Enemies Act should have contested their arrests in the districts they were detained through individual habeas petitions.
The order marks a win for the Trump administration, even if temporary, and it could well be a harbinger of things to come as the administration continues to clash with federal courts.
